Juliette Gordon Low enjoyed standing on her head. She stood on her head every year for her birthday!

She enjoyed the arts and would write and act in plays. She also played tennis and was a swimmer.

Juliette had two nick names. One was "Little Ship" because she was so much like her great-grandmother who had been nick named "Little Ship Under Full Sail" by the Seneca Indians who had captured her and later let her return home.

Juliette's other nick name was "Daisy". When she was born, her uncle exclaimed "That's a Daisy!"

There is a story about pulling taffy. One of Daisy's cousins thought the taffy was the same color as her hair so they braided the taffy into Daisy's hair. Since taffy is so sticky, the only way to remove the taffy was to cut her hair very short, which was not very fashionable for females in those days!

Did Juliette Gordon Low study?

Since Juliette Gordon Low came from a family that was well-to-do, she never had what would be considered an occupation. She never had to work at a job to earn a living.

However, Juliette was very interested in the arts and created many sculptures and works of wrought iron, including a gate that is located at the Girl Scout National Center (or The Birthplace).

Because of Juliette's well-to-do upbringing, she felt unprepared for dealing with events in her life, so she found a way, through Girl Scouting, to help young women better prepare for their futures. So, her occupation later in life was concentrated on bringing Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting to girls around the world.

Juliette first started troops in Scotland and London, then came to the USA and registered the first troop for membership in Savannah, GA in 1912.

Juliette Gordon Low faced many obstacles, the main one being her hearing loss.

Her marriage to Willy Low and his death and leaving much of his property to another woman was another obstacle Juliette faced.

How did Juliette Gordon Low get the money to start Girl Scouts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Savannah, Georgia. In fact a biography of her is entitled Lady From Savannah.

In order to start the first American Girl Guide troop, Juliette Gordon Low called her friend, Nina Anderson Pape, who was the principal of a girl's school. Miss Pape suggested a group of girls who went to Mr. Hoxie's camp in the woods each Saturday. The daughter of Juliette's cousin was a member of the group and was able to interest all the girls in joining the first American Girl Guide troop.

Juliette also registered her niece, Margaret "Daisy Doots" Eleanor Gordon as the very first member, although Margaret did not attend the first meeting.

The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace pin can only be purchased by someone who has attended a class or a tour at the Birthplace.

According to the paper they give you with the pin at the museum, the pin is to be placed on the FRONT of the uniform (below the membership stars) and may be worn forever. If membership stars are not being worn, place the pin across from the Girl Scout Pin.

She is buried in her native Georgia and was laid out in her Girl Scout Uniform. My guess the hat was removed at her wake, as people usually don"t wear hats in church. The subject is discussed in some detail in Lady From Savannah. She died of some form of Cancer.
